Point & Click Interface

Oliver;

Is it possible to reconfigure the TNM interface and have it point & click much like the music manager & Zeus Pro ?

I enjoy using Zeus and I purchased TNM a while ago but no offence but the sim drives me insane.

There are alot of awesome options in it and such, but the thing is the "dos interface" isn't the easiest thing to get use to. So any chance of changing the interface ? I'm sure this will be ALOT of work no doubt but it's just a suggestion to maybe change the interface or allow 2 interfaces to be downloaded & used.

no offense Kenny but most of us "techno-geeks" prefer to use keystrokes as opposed to the mouse.  It's much faster once you learn them... I'm to the point where I know most of the ones in Excel and Word as well.. and they are quite the time saver when typing a LOT of stuff.

I should mention that there is plenty of mouse usage possible in TNM7 SE, it's just not the fastest way to get stuff done.

With this little game, the keyboard works well.  I'm to the point of being faster typing than the sim can keep up with. :P

I can confirm that parts of the program are currently being reimplemented with a Windows interface, starting with the card scheduler.

I can't give a timeframe when it will be released or available to the beta testers because doing a port while maintaining 100% compatibility with the current interface is an imperative and takes extremely long to implement and test.

but you are still going to keep keyboard shortcuts correct?  

Just wanting to make sure.  :)

I have the current ones memorized where much like Anubis, I type fast when booking than TNM can keep up, which is ok.
